By Margaret Willson

An unforeseen detour can switch the process our lives without end, and, for white American anthropologist Margaret Willson, a stopover in Brazil resulted in immersion in a kaleidoscopic international of highway urchins, capoeiristas, drug purchasers, and clever lecturers. She and African Brazilian activist Rita Conceicao joined forces to wreck the cycles of poverty and violence round them by way of pledging neighborhood citizens they'd create a most reliable academic software for women. From 1991 to the commencement of Bahia Street's first college-bound graduate in 2005, Willson and Conceicao 's event took them to the shantytowns of Brazil's Northeast, high-society London, and concrete Seattle.

In a story brimming with honesty and beauty, Dance Lest all of us cave in unfolds the tale of this notable alliance, displaying how friendship, while mixed with braveness, perception, and fervour, can rework goals of a higher international into reality.
